Dream coins are really a beautiful currency, floating in the hand like starlight.
But it only took a moment for it to slip into Tang Ling's hand, and then one could clearly feel it running up his arm and stopping directly on the Dream Seed symbol.
Almost subconsciously, Tang Ling opened his clothes and took a look. Under the symbol of Mengzhong, "Kunya", two beautiful dots the size of sesame seeds appeared.
This should be a sign of obtaining the Dream Coin.
"If there is nothing else, I will leave first. The fog will dissipate. Congratulations on entering the official adventure." Liuhe's voice was still friendly, and he put his hands back into his sleeves again, looking at Tang Ling with a smile.
But with this expression, I couldn't feel any emotion on his face.
"Wait, I have something to do." Tang Ling didn't have time to pull up his clothes and immediately called out to Liuhe.
In fact, he didn't think of anything for a moment? But the sentence "not every dream species can see the escort, and even most dream species don't know the existence of the escort" hints at Tang Ling.
The appearance of the guide should be an opportunity, which must be grasped.
The dream world has a strong purpose. It can't be that this guide is really just here to give away two dream coins, right
"Time is limited." Perhaps in response to Tang Ling's guess, after Liuhe was stopped by Tang Ling, he did not refuse Tang Ling, but gave Tang Ling another reminder.
Time is limited. As for whether you can get something from the guide, it depends on whether you can grasp the key points within the limited time.
"The Dream Coins are here. What if I get a lot of Dream Coins and my arms can't fit together?" Tang Ling asked an extremely nonsense question.
It's not that he did this on purpose, but he had his own thoughts.
"Hmm." Liuhe narrowed his eyes, obviously not expecting that Tang Ling would ask such a question. Then he restored his smile and answered directly: "I think as a new Dream Seed, you don't need to worry about it for the time being. This kind of thing.”
"Why?" Tang Ling's expression suddenly became serious. The seemingly nonsensical question was just to elicit the why
This was a big question, so I didn't ask for any details, because it was impossible for Tang Ling to know any details about the Dream Realm, but he used this method to ask for information about the Dream Realm.
Why, no matter how Liuhe answers, he will always leave some useful information.
"You're very smart." Liuhe didn't seem to reject Tang Ling's 'cautiousness', but instead immediately understood and praised him.
Then he said: "If you can pass the S-level introductory mission, you must have analyzed a lot about the meaning of the existence of the Dream Realm."
"The Realm of Dreams is a test, and the essence of this test is the limit of personal ability. What is the so-called limit? It is the line between life and death. When I say this, do you understand why you cannot get more Dream Coins?"
"Understand, in the thin line between life and death, surviving is the key. You have to reach a certain level of completion before you can get the Dream Coin. It's not easy to survive, and the Dream Coin is even more difficult." Tang Ling said quickly, but at the same time he also spoke out. Translated: "For every dream species, the test of life and death can be understood as a, um, a principle of the dream realm."
"Natural. This is the Tao that constitutes the Dream Realm, and can also be understood as the essential law of the Dream Realm." Liuhe's attitude was very good, and he did not show any impatience.
"In other words, in this city called Dream Realm, I can wander around wherever I want. What I encounter is just a matter of life and death for me?" Each of Tang Ling's questions was very targeted.
"You can understand that this is the case for every step of your journey. To be precise, there is no such thing as trespassing, do you understand?" Liuhe's smile became more sincere.
Tang Ling was silent. He grasped the key point of this sentence, which was that within a certain distance, he would definitely encounter a life-and-death test. It was impossible for him to wander around in the entire city.
There was no trickery, and he could only move forward step by step towards the end point he determined to be.
"Okay, it's time for me to go." Liuhe already answered a lot, especially the four words "The Thin Line of Life and Death" almost revealed one of the most important information in the Dream Realm.
But this is not a special concern. The key is that the person asking the question can think of this and only then can he get a positive answer from his mouth.
"The line between life and death is the limit of personal ability, and does personal ability include everything?" Tang Ling ignored it and took the time to ask.
Because he wants to know how Dream Realm determines the degree of completion.
"Including everything. Within your personal capabilities, the most perfect solution will get the highest evaluation." As Liuhe spoke, his whole person had retreated towards the mist. He clearly did not move, as if there was a magical force. Drag him into the mist.
Wherever he passed, the water-like mist miraculously faded away, revealing a corner of the city.
But Tang Ling didn't have time to pay attention to this. He just looked at Liuhe's disappearing figure and took the time to ask loudly.
"Can you tell me who you are?"
"Are there any traces of your existence in previous civilizations?"
"You and Kun are"
No sound was heard, and in just a few seconds, Liuhe disappeared without a trace.
It was a pity. Tang Ling was slightly regretful. He still had a lot of questions to ask Liuhe, but it was foreseeable that the Dream Realm would not let Tang Ling go too far.
"He and Kun are at least of the same race." But inexplicably, Tang Ling came to such a conclusion, and this conclusion made him vaguely grasp something, but it was so vague.
Thinking about it, Tang Ling grabbed the C-grade alloy sword on his back with his backhand, and put the Wolf Bite back into his sleeve again.
The puzzle about Kunhe Liuhe is obviously not suitable for thinking now, because he is still in a dream, in this strange city called the "Dream Realm", where unknown and huge dangers are hidden everywhere.
After the fog dissipated, what Tang Ling saw in front of him was a street.
It is paved with rough blue bricks and flanked by gray-black low walls.
The entire street is narrow, uneven, and the green moss marks seem to tell the silent passage of time.
Behind the low wall are buildings with a strong Chinese style, with black tiles and white walls, which seem to represent a famous architectural school in ancient China - Huizhou architecture.
These buildings are not gorgeous. At first glance, it is clear that they are just ordinary residential buildings. However, combined with the gloomy sky that seems to have just rained, they look like a natural black and white ink painting.
In addition, through the fog that had not completely dissipated, Tang Ling saw many streets not far away. The most obvious street was obviously a large main street. According to the standards of pre-civilization, , at least ten cars can run in parallel.
Strangely, various sounds could be heard faintly on the main street, among which the human voice could be clearly distinguished.
But the tough papyrus paper that Su Yao handed to Tang Ling was still in his arms, and it contained some not-too-important but very clear instructions.
Do not enter complex and enclosed spaces such as mountains, forests, caves, and houses easily.
And the wider the 'boiling' place, don't break in easily.
In fact, according to Liuhe, the essence of the test is the same, which makes these summaries a bit ridiculous, but Tang Ling will not easily deny these experiences.
For example, on the main street, Tang Ling believed that although the nature of the test would not change, in such a lively place, there would be many hidden mysteries, and maybe the tests would be repeated one after another.
Liuhe appeared suddenly and disappeared very quickly.
Didn't he leave himself the last bit of 'convenience'? Tang Ling just thought about it for a few seconds, then suddenly put away the long knife in his hand, inserted it back into the leather buckle on his back, and walked slowly towards the ancient brick road in front of him.
The ancient road must have been around for some time. When I walked into it, I discovered that there were various deep or shallow marks left on the blue bricks.
The accumulated water after the rain formed puddles on the road, reflecting the white walls and black tiles, giving it a dazzling light with a hint of sadness.
In the gentle breeze, there was the smell of earth mixed with moss. The air was so fresh that it was amazing. Unlike the era Tang Ling lived in, there was always an inexplicable, pungent smell in the air, which was called 'Nowhere'. The pollution of absence'.
All the real details make people feel like they are in a trance. Is this a dream? Or reality
Step by step
One meter, one meter
Tang Ling's regular combat uniform gradually changed. The dull gray like ruins turned into a heavy black with a hint of resoluteness.
In the blink of an eye, the top turned into a black short robe, and the bottoms, which were similar to 'overalls', turned into a pair of black cloth trousers, with the legs of the trousers dug into the animal skin boots under the feet. middle.
There was no change in the wolf's bite, and it was still held in Tang Ling's sleeve.
The Desert Eagle transformed into something weird, like a hidden weapon from ancient China, still hanging on its waist.
Tang Ling didn't know whether the long sword had changed, because he didn't have eyes on his back, but there was no need to worry about this problem, the Dream Realm would definitely provide the most perfect disguise.
At this time, Tang Ling had only walked a distance of fifty meters, and his image had changed from a Crescent Warrior of the Purple Moon Era to a young chivalrous man from an unknown era in ancient China.
Regarding all this, Tang Ling's expression did not change at all. He accepted it very calmly, and even silently regretted it in his heart. His limited understanding of the history of ancient China was also limited due to his limited reading.
Would the task become easier if we knew the historical background? But the mission? Now Tang Ling has not received any task prompts.
Just as he was thinking about it, this small bluestone street, or alley, had come to an end.
Before he could regain his senses, he saw a group of children in the same ancient Chinese costumes running past in front of him at the street corner.
While there was a splash of water, there was also a sound that did not dissipate.
"The Wang family's grandma was bitten to death."
"Don't talk nonsense, you are getting old, and you will die when you get old."
"He was obviously the one who was bitten, I heard someone say that."
“You’ll know if you go and see it?”
The splash of water was easily dodged by Tang Ling, and the childish words were heard by Tang Ling, but he did not avoid a pair of slightly rough hands.
"Master Tang, where have you been these past two days? Don't run around during these restless days."
Tang Ling raised his head, and in front of him was a man's face with deep wrinkles between his eyebrows and forehead. He was lean and yellow, but the strength in his hands was quite strong. Tang Ling was holding Tang Ling so hard that he could feel the slightest movement between the tiger's mouth. of swelling.
At this time, the task prompt finally appeared in my mind.
"Tang Chongwu. The second son of the Tang family, a wealthy family in Qingxi Town."
As this reminder appeared in Tang Ling's mind, some complete character information and environmental background also suddenly appeared in Tang Ling's mind.
What technology is this? Direct memory instillation? Tang Ling was shocked by Dream Realm's methods, but at the same time he said something to the old man in front of him quietly.
"Master Han, please worry. Chongwu has been out for the past two days and doesn't know what happened in the village? He only listened to the group of children just now." Although Tang Ling didn't understand the way Gu Huaxia spoke.
But as soon as he spoke, both the dialect and accent, as well as the precise words and phrases, were all sound. The silent indoctrination from the Dream Realm seemed to have also instilled some very basic ancient Chinese knowledge into him.
"Don't ask, don't ask. Go back to the house first. The master will inevitably show up later. Hey, it's already the third time this month." The old man who was replaced by Tang Ling as Master Han interrupted Tang Ling's question and sighed silently. With a single word, without beginning or end, he pulled Tang Ling and walked in a certain direction.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry and let Master Han pull him away.
According to the information he obtained, this Master Han is the guardian of the Tang family and has a respected status. Regardless of his status, the so-called eldest brother Tang Chongwen was watched by this Master Han when he grew up.
Even when I was addicted to martial arts since childhood, I was also influenced by Master Han.
Therefore, there is nothing to distrust this Mr. Han for the time being.
"Look at you, look at you, you are a knife and gun wielder, why are you dressed like this? With just these three or two moves, can you still win the top prize in martial arts?"
"Why don't you learn from your elder brother? He is familiar with the classics and has now become a scholar. He is full of knowledge, how can he not be respected wherever he goes?" Master Han let go of Tang Ling's hand, but it is inevitable that people will break into pieces when they get old. read.
Tang Ling listened with a smile, but he was looking around carelessly. He was looking at the entire Qingxi Town. It was a small town. A winding and clear river flowed through the town. The green water reflected the white walls and black walls of the Huizhou style buildings. The tiles and the new green trees on both sides make people feel like they have walked into a quiet landscape painting.
This kind of scenery would never be retained in the Ziyue era, but Tang Ling had no intention of appreciating it. Instead, he kept calculating the precise instincts in his mind, outlining the terrain of the entire Qingxi Town. According to Tang Ling's every time With his combat habits, he will definitely remember the surrounding terrain firmly in his mind. If possible, don't miss all the details.
After all, it is a test of life and death.
"Stop talking? Do you regret it if you don't talk?" Tang Ling was very quiet, but Mr. Han was not used to it. When he looked back and saw Tang Ling's careless smile, he became angry.
"I know regrets, I know regrets. Wouldn't it be nice to have a literary and a martial arts family at home? If Mr. Han doesn't like it, Chongwu will also go to study essays." Tang Ling opened his mouth and coaxed Mr. Han. He really didn't want to hear a character in a dream. Nagging to myself.
Looking at the entire town, Tang Ling has discovered a key point, but now he still needs to verify it.
Sure enough, Tang Ling's words made Master Han feel very comfortable. His frown relaxed, and even the wrinkles on his face seemed to lighten a bit.
Taking this opportunity, Tang Ling casually asked, "Master Han, what time is it now?"
"You don't even know what time it is when you're in the field?" Master Han scolded him, but he quickly replied that Tang Ling was at Si Shi at this time.
In other words, according to modern time conversion, this time corresponds to the time period from 9 am to 11 am. To be more precise, according to the background of this era, there is probably no way.
Yes, at this time, even after a light rain, why is the town so deserted
The shops on the street are closed, and apart from the group of children just now, there is no one else on the street
What's even more strange is that the doors of every house are closed, and except for the occasional crowing of chickens and dogs, there is no movement at all. It seems that they are afraid of something
Are these related to what those children said and what Mr. Han said was not peaceful? If so, the focus of this mission falls on this matter.
Although, the current task prompt only gives some information, but does not say what needs to be done
Tang Ling was lost in thought again, but Master Han asked Tang Ling, "Are you hungry?" '
At this time, wealthy families still need to eat. After all, Mr. Han felt sorry for Tang Ling. When he saw that he had no reason to ask about the time, he would only think of the hardships he suffered outside, and it was quite difficult to even have a full meal.
This made Mr. Han couldn't help but murmur again, accusing Tang Ling of insisting on being a knight. Regardless of any knight, it would be difficult to move without money.
Tang Ling had automatically blocked these words, and just made a look of repentance, following behind Mr. Han, clearly remembering all the places he passed in his mind.
In this way, after walking for less than a moment, we had arrived at the southernmost part of the town.
Here stands a large mansion, which is also a building with black tiles and white walls. Compared with other residential buildings, it looks much more solemn and solemn.
The house was built on the outskirts of the town. Further south, there was a hill with lush vegetation. There was a pool between the foot of the hill and the town.
The water waves are faint and deep. It looks green and black, with a hint of coolness.
"Why are you still standing there? Come in." Mr. Han was already standing in front of the black door at this time. Maybe it was daytime, maybe the Tang family was not afraid of what the people in the town were afraid of. In short, in Han The door behind me is open.
Tang Ling responded and followed Mr. Han into the house.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he crossed the high threshold, a servant came out of nowhere. He closed the door with a bang as fast as he could, and then quickly tightened the heavy door latch. It's hung up.
"Interesting." Tang Ling turned around and glanced at the servant's actions, but secretly laughed in his heart.
According to experience, the task of staying out of every mountain, every forest, and every house seems to be more dangerous.
However, not only did he enter the house, but he also encountered the mountain and the entire town. So how difficult is this task
As long as the ultimate principle of life and death remains unchanged, what kind of extreme degree will it show? The point is, does the calculation of its difficulty value include the 'seed'
Faced with this dream that was indistinguishable from false to true and filled with weirdness, Tang Ling gradually eliminated some of the tension and fear in his heart.
All that's left is excitement and the urge to challenge!
I’ll give you a big chapter of 5000 words first. The afternoon update will be later. I’m a little tired and want to have a good sleep. I’ve been sleeping a little fitfully these past few days. I felt something bad in my stomach yesterday.
